Does Parental Leadership Contribute to Employees' Altruistic Behavior?——Multiple Mediating Effects Based on Chinese Context

Abstract

Abstract:

Altruistic behavior is an important core of Chinese traditional culture. Based on the management practice in Chinese context, this paper empirically researches the influence mechanism between the parental leadership typical of Chinese enterprises and employees' altruistic behavior, and tests the multiple mediating effects of affective commitment, psychological empowerment and leader-member exchange. An empirical analysis of the questionnaire based on structural equation model derives the following conclusions. Firstly, benevolent leadership, moral leadership and authoritarian leadership all have a significant positive impact on employees' altruistic behavior. Secondly, affective commitment, psychological empowerment and leader-member exchange play a full mediating role in the relationship between three dimensions of paternalistic leadership and employees' altruistic behavior respectively. Thirdly, there is a significant difference between any two mediating pathways in addition to the mediating effects of psychological empowerment and leader-member exchange between benevolent leadership and employees' altruistic behavior, and the mediating effects of psychological empowerment and leader-member exchange between authoritarian leadership and employees' altruistic behavior.

Key words: parental leadership, employees' altruistic behavior, affective commitment, psychological empowerment, leader-member exchange
